Which generation would ask "Is this loss"?

Also us elder Gen Z. But we have a lot of millennial overlap so...

Can't we just fuse together into gen Millenial Z? I mean, we do have some significant DBZ overlap to thank for this naming convention.

I've seen the term Zillennial thrown about as a sorta mirror to Xillenial. Really the generation measurement is always going to have this flaw for example generation Jones or whatever is going on with younger Gen Z and elder Gen Alpha. Really this flaw is going to continue until social and technological advancements slow down from the absolutely breakneck speed they've been going at for the last 150 years. I do have to wonder if we are seeing that slowdown or if we are seeing the modern equivalent of the 1930s where Europe was building up to WW2 and the US was giving the Slavs a run for their money in the depressing literature department.
